RHBA-2014:0986 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated python-pthreading packages that fix several bugs and add various
enhancements are now available.

Description

The python-pthreading module provides Lock and Condition synchronization objects
compatible with the Python native threading module. The implementation is based
on the POSIX thread library as delivered by the libpthread and has considerable
performance benefits over Python 2.x's implementation. Locking helps optimise
the use of shared system resources.
